Looks good mate

I think you've done a great job actually

It's a shame that top graphics card is so close to the SATA cable?

the sata cable is actually about an inch from the top gpu. Concerned about heat? Any suggestions about fan placement on the heatsink? Any airflow suggestions?

I've just noticed that you have the rear exhaust fan blowing inwards against the flow of air from the heatsink. You could do with turning one of them round, ideally the case one and then the hot air will be expelled right out the back.

You got a front intake? More than one? I'd use one low for the graphics cards and one high for NB and CPU.

yes, one mounted front middle intaking air from front and cooling graphics cards .. and you are right the back fan is backwards. The P182 also has a top fan that is intaking air in my case. Is there a NB option that you would suggest? Maybe a 40mm fan, think it would fit? would you reccommend any memory cooling or gpu cooling?

If you have front, rear, top and side fans, my first config would be...

fronts - inwards
rear - outwards
top - outwards
side - experiment to see what works best once you have the others in place

Looks extremly good and with fine tuned air cooling should be a great build.
